A native cultivar, ‘Huggy Bear’ is clothed in rich, bronzy-red foliage that hugs the ground, forming a low carpet. Delicate sprays of clear, pink-violet springborne flowers contrast nicely against its dark dissected leaves. A great selection for naturalizing, especially when it is used along woodland borders or when combined with companions.
